    This film looks awesome. Check out some of the training these kids go through. Full contact sparring with no headgear, tough little ****ers. Some really good boxers The films not getting a wide release in the UK but has 100 screens in Cuba. Awesome music as well. http://www.sonsofcuba.com/

    Looks good. Anyone know why all cuban boxers are black? Does the govt. put them in there because there naturally good or what? I've never seen a spanish or white cuban in any amateur boxing videos they have.

    Sometimes I forget these Cubans are even human. Seeing these makes you realize that these kids do struggle to be what they are in the olympics

    that lil ***** at the end in blue looked like a mini Money. I can only dream and imagine what kind of beast Money was at that age.

    It's because most Cuban Boxer's are from the Oriente Provence, where most Cubans there are Black.

    The joke is that Castro sent the White people to Collage and the Black people to the Gym.
